What is Family Therapy?

Family therapy, also known as family counseling or marriage and family therapy, is a specialized branch of psychotherapy that focuses on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and fostering healthy relationships within families. It acknowledges that the family unit plays a crucial role in individual well-being.

Common Misconceptions

Let’s debunk some common misconceptions about family therapy:

• Only for Crisis: Family therapy is not only for families in crisis. It can benefit families at any stage, from enhancing communication in healthy families to addressing complex issues in challenging situations.
• Blame Game: Family therapy isn’t about assigning blame. It focuses on understanding the dynamics and promoting positive change.
• Individual Therapy Replacement: While individual therapy has its place, family therapy uniquely addresses issues that involve multiple family members.
